A Puzzling Post: The Totally Random Book Puzzle

Hadn't made a puzzle in ages and just felt the urge - but couldn't come up with an appropriate theme that I haven't used before. So, here you have a puzzle containing 24 random books I've liked in my lifetime. How's that for vague? Some are pretty obvious - a couple are more obscure. How many can you name? Title and author, please - and it's acceptable to use Google.This time there's a prize - a handmade journal cover and matching bookmark - lovingly crafted by yours truly. The cover fits a standard 9x7 composition book (included). When the journal is full, just slip off the cover and insert a fresh notebook. Winner will be selected by random drawing of all participants that identify all the books - or the one who comes closest. Entries accepted until Monday, November 19th when I get to work and have time to determine the winner - a vague deadline to go with a vague puzzle. Comment moderation will be turned on temporarily so there's no peeking. Good luck!

I tried but I couldn't get them all. :( Some I recognized right away; others I had to use Google to find. Regardless, it was fun.

Here are my answers in no particular order:Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud MontgomeryCharlotte's Web by E. B. White11/22/63 by Stephen KingThe Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. AuelThe Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. SuessThe Christmas Carol by Charles DickensThe Cat Who could Read by Lilian Jackson BraunThe Night Circus by Erin MorgensternThe DaVinci Code by Dan Brown The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsWater for Elephants by Sara GruenThe Language of Flowers by Vanessa DiffenbaughTim Gunn's Fashion Bible by Tim GunnJulie and Julia by Julie PowellGunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making it Work by Tim Gunn The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy PickardThe Weird Sisters by Eleanor BrownLittle House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls WilderThe Racketeer by John Grisham Let's Pretend this Never Happened by Jenny Lawson

Oh Tami, this is a good one! I have all but two I think. Here goes...Anne of green gables, charlottes web, 11/22/63, the clan of the cave bear, how the grinch stole Christmas, a little house collection, the scent of rain and lightning, the cat who could read, the night circus, the da Vinci code, Julie and Julia, a Christmas carol, Harriet the spy, the language of flowers, hunger games, and the ladies of the club, the snow child, the quilt (it probably couldn't be that easy?), water for elephants, the weird sisters, lets pretend this never happened, the racketeer. I'll keep looking and add the others later if I can figure them out.

Found two more so here we go from the beginning: Anne of green gables, charlottes web, 11/22/63, the clan of the cave bear, how the grinch stole Christmas, a little house collection, the scent of rain and lightning, the cat could read, the night circus, the da Vinci code, Tim Gunn's fashion bible, Julie and Julia, a Christmas carol, Harriet the spy, the language of flowers, hunger games, Gunn's golden rule, and the ladies of the club, the snow child, the quilt ( if this wasn't a freebie I could not find it!) water for elephants, the weird sisters, lets pretend this never happened, the racketeer. Phew! I searched your whole blog beginning to end and didn't find the book with the quilt in the title, but I did find grandma's chili sauce! Can't wait to try making it!
